Ingredients
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon chopped chillies
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Seasoning
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 leg of lamb
2 sweet potatoes
6-8 potatoes
2-3 teaspoons paprika
2-3 teaspoons semolina
Olive oil spray
2 red onions
2-3 sprigs of rosemary
Cuisine: Cooking time: 60 mins Serving: 4-6 people

Here’s a delicious halogen recipe from Sarah Flower.

Her book, containing 200 tasty Halogen recipes, entitled “The Everyday Halogen Family Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link to the right in our sidebar. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

Mix together the garlic, chilli, rosemary, seasoning and olive oil to form a paste. Rub this over the leg of lamb. You can score the flesh first to help give the paste something to hold on to.

Place on the lower rack and cook for 15 minutes at 230°C (446°F).

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes to size and steam or parboil for 10 minutes. Drain and return to the empty saucepan. Add the paprika and semolina. Pop the lid back on the saucepan and shake to fluff up and coat the vegetables.

Place the potatoes around the lamb. Spray with olive oil. Halve the onions and place them with the vegetables, along with the rosemary sprigs.

Cook for another 10 minutes before turning down to 190°C (374°F) and cooking for 30 – 45 minutes or until both the meat and potatoes are cooked to your satisfaction.

The cooking time for lamb depends on the size of the joint. Remember to turn the lamb and vegetables regularly and add a spray of oil or paste as required.

Serve with homemade gravy.

Hot Cross Buns: a Halogen Easter Special!

Ingredients
1lb/16oz flour
1 tsp salt
1 level tsp mixed spice (or less)
0.12lb/2oz butter
0.12lb/2oz currants
0.06lb/1oz yeast
0.09lb/1.5oz sugar
0.5 pint/10 uk fl oz milk (about)
Cuisine: Cooking time: 25 mins Serving: 6-8 people

Here’s a fun traditional recipe for Easter with family and friends.

Method

Sift together the flour, salt and spice. Rub in the butter and then add the currants.

Warm the mixture. Cream the yeast and the sugar together and add the warm milk; leave to sponge for about 10 minutes.

Mix the flour etc. with the yeast and milk to form a light dough. Beat well and leave in a warm place to rise until the dough has doubled its bulk. Turn onto a floured surface and knead well and then divide into 12 pieces. Make into buns then flatten and mark with a cross.

Stand on a floured baking tray in a warm place to prove for about 20 minutes. Bake in the halogen oven for 20 minutes at 180°C (356°F). When cooked, brush with a glaze made by dissolving a little sugar in water.

Use a mixer with a dough hook; it works very well. Put 6 or as many as fit in the halogen oven on the higher rack and 6 on the lower. Use the extender ring if the ones on the top brown too quickly.

Swap them round after 10 minutes but turn them over on their rack and cook for about another 6-8 minutes, again swapping those on the top with those on the bottom.

Serve and enjoy

Posted by Editorial Staff on Mar – 26 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
1 tbsp of either butter or olive oil
1 leek
1 large potato
1 stick of celery
2 large carrots
1 garlic clove (crushed)

1 tbsp parsley (fresh) or 1/2 that amount (if dried)
1 ½ pts/852ml of chicken stock (or water and stock cubes)
1 tsp curry powder (secret ingredient)
Seasoning
Cuisine: Cooking time: 50 mins Serving: 4 people

Here’s a tasty vegetable soup recipe for your halogen oven. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

Roughly chop up all the vegetables, keeping the chopped leek separate…

On the hob heat the oil/butter in a casserole dish that fits in your halogen oven and then gently fry the leek for 3 or 4 minutes. Once it is starting to soften, add the rest of the vegetables.

Preheat the halogen oven to 220°C (425°F) and place the dish on the high rack, cooking for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning.

Add the water or stock and curry powder, cover with a lid or secured double-tin foil, bring to the boil and then simmer at 200°C (392°F) for 30-40 minutes until everything is cooked and soft.

Let the soup cool a little and then liquidise with a hand blender or liquidiser. At this point, taste the soup and then add salt & pepper to your taste.

If the soup is too thick, thin it down with either a little more stock or milk.

If it is too thin, add a little instant potato until you are happy with it.

Serve with crusty bread or a naan.

Enjoy

Bourbon and Maple Chicken : Halogen Oven Recipes

Posted by darko on Feb – 28 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Products
Ingredients
1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces, and skinned
160 ml (6 fl oz) red wine
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp bourbon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp mustard powder
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Watercress, to serve
Cuisine: Cooking time: 30 mins Serving: 4 people

Here’s a delicious halogen recipe from Paul Brodel & Carol Beckerman.

Their book, containing more than 100 delicious halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link to the right in our sidebar.

Method

The intense heat from the halogen lamp lends an amazing flavour to this dish, caramelising the sugar in the sauce and making it irresistible.

Place the chicken on the round oven tray and cook on the high rack of the halogen oven at 220°C (425°F) for 15 minutes, turning the chicken over halfway through cooking time.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the red wine, soy sauce, vinegar, tomato purée, maple syrup, bourbon, ginger, mustard powder and garlic, until well combined.

Spoon half the sauce over the chicken and cook for 5 minutes at 220°C (425°F).

Then lower the heat to 190°C (375°F) and cook for another 5 minutes, then turn the chicken over and spoon on the remaining sauce.

Cook for 5 minutes more, then transfer the chicken to a serving plate and keep warm in a low oven.

Pour the sauce from the oven tray into a small saucepan, place over medium heat and bring to the boil.

Simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce has reduced in volume. Serve the chicken immediately, with the sauce poured on top, and garnished with watercress.

This dish goes well with basmati rice with added chopped red pepper and a small finely chopped onion, and garnished with freshly chopped spring onions.

If you would rather not use alcohol in this dish, substitute good-quality chicken stock for the red wine and omit the bourbon.
